Conversion of PowerPoint Presentations into MIRC Documents

The Medical Imaging Resource Center (MIRC)
project was initiated by RSNA to facilitate sharing of medical information
through the imaging community. Documents conforming to the MIRCdocument
schema can be easily index and shared over the internet.

Using Visual Basic for Applications,
an add-in program was created to
convert a single
PowerPoint presentation or a
batch of PowerPoint presentations into MIRC documents. Using this
add-in, it is possible to convert a PowerPoint presentation into a MIRC
document without exiting PowerPoint or learning about XML.
